Hey everybody, I’m kind of struggling with what to do next year (2017-2018 school year).
This upcoming fall, spring and summer I will finish all of my prerequisites, take the MCAT and submit my applications. I already have 100+ hours ER volunteering, 20+ hours shadowing, and 50+ hours volunteering as a literacy tutor. Plus this year I am also working as a research assistant for one of my professors. After this year, however, I don’t know what to do.
My undergrad is in economics so I could probably knock out an MA in economics during my application year. I could also start an MS in biomedical sciences at one of the medical schools I’m applying to. Another possibility is getting an EMT or CNA certification and working full time.
I want to start medical school as fully prepared with as little debt as possible. What would be the most productive way to spend my application year?
Thank you!
